Faction Information
Summary
Some free vehicle spirits and vehicle-controlling AIs have banded together to form The Shadow Roads. The Roads can provide clandestine travel across continental North America, and rumors of routes to South America exist. Travelers receive transport in return for goods, services, or karma.
Thematics evaluation is ongoing for being player-joinable. AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW IT IS NOT JOINABLE BY PLAYERS. When and if Thematics approves the faction then PCs capable of conjuring will be able to join, after a run performing a service and if they do not have a bad reputation with spirits (this would exclude PCs with the Spectral Warden quality). When approved players with positive wild index may also join.
Goals
- Expand their group
- Protect their members
- Become stronger individually by accumulating karma and services and distributing it equally

Background
Started by the Canadian Pacific Ghost Train in 2085 via runner intermediaries, The Underground Railroad has grown slowly during the last year. The members are looking to increase their membership, band together to increase their power and ensure safety. Knowledge of the railroad is starting to spread. The members consist of wild vehicle spirits, free spirits of man, and vehicle-related AIs. Oddly, wild Raccoon beast spirits have also been attracted to the railroad and often ride it, leaving old shinies behind in payment. These raccoon spirits are sometimes accompanied by a family of Bandits (Awakened Raccoons).
